Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoy life without hurting other sentient beings.
ABOUT ME
I love animals and nature and try to enjoy life without hurting other sentient beings, animals, plants, spirits. I am vegan, and see this as a philosophy, not just as a diet. When not travelling, I work with different NGO´s (women´s humans rights, environment, young people, social projects), and when travelling, I always try to volunteer, exchange experiences or at least try to reduce my footprint during my trip.
PHILOSOPHY
Ahimsa

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I´ve biked from Vancouver to San Francisco in one month, bathe a couple of rescued elephants in Cambodia, walked along a penguin in New Zealand, sang some mantras with Budhist nuns in India, harvested coffee in Mexico´s mountains and a long etc because I think any trip brings you a lot of great experiences.
Teach, Learn, Share
I´m always a learner, I don´t feel like a teacher, but sometimes I like to know I have inspired someone or share the way I see the world, which is always colorful and positive.
